Director’s End-of-Year Message 2024

Dear Maggie Walker Family,

Another year has come and gone and we are about to enjoy some well-deserved time off.  It was a fantastic year that saw many great achievements.  Our Music Program achieved Blue Ribbon status, the Robotics team had their best year ever, our Quiz Bowl team placed 1st in the state, and our seniors finished up strong and are ready for their next adventure!

During the summer, our team will take a little time off and then work hard to review the year and see where we can improve.  It is my sincere desire that you all take some time off, enjoy your friends and family, travel a little, eat some new foods, and get some well-deserved relaxation.  If you are a senior, farewell and go out there and make a difference.  If you are returning, we will see you in August!

 Best wishes,

 Dr. Bob Lowerre

    Only at Maggie Walker could a four-day week have this much going on. Back to School Night is always one of my favorite events because it gives our teachers and families a chance to put names to faces. It was not that long ago that I was an MLWGS parent walking those same hallways, trying…
